ECSA and the European Transport Workers’ Federation (ETF) joined forces receiving EU funding for a new project that will be implemented in the following two years.
Specifically, the joint project is called “Contributing to an Attractive, Smart and Sustainable Working Environment in the Shipping Sector” (WESS).
The WESS project is based on two specific pillars:
- Pillar 1: Supporting the work of the joint ECSA-ETF working group on Health and Safety on board.
- Pillar 2: Implementing the priority actions in the ECSA and ETF joint declaration of intention on enhanced participation of women in European shipping.
The project aims to boost the European shipping sector and the qualified seafarers.
Therefore, to conduct these tasks, the project management team launched a call for tender for experts to support in implementing the research on digitalisation on board will soon follow.
In addition, the expert or group of experts that will participate, will support the project by actions identified in their joint declaration of intention on the enhanced participation of women in EU shipping.
